Backing up a Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003

Hi@all,

I tried to safe a Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 on a NetWorker Server 7.3.4.

First I read the Module for Microsoft Application Installation and Administration Guide. Then I installed the Module for Microsoft Application x64 on the Storage Server.

I do all the things to do on the NetWorker server as instructed at the administration guide.

The snapshot policy for the client says 2 snapshots, 2 retain, Day and First.

The scheduled Backup last night did not work.

deamon.log@NetWorker server:

The same messages at 2:38 AM.

Manual Backup of one Folder doesn`t work too.

That's it. Nothing happens for a long time. We need the Module for Microsoft Applications because we use the Single Instance Storage an traditional Backups don't work well. Backup functions are not the problem, recovering Data on SIS-Volumes are working, but the data is corrupt.

I do not know what to do right now. Excuse me for the bad english.
